Heat Flow (W/g)<br />

<strong>DSC</strong>: Temperature Calibration<br />

�ASTM Method E967<br />

�Pure metals (indium, lead, etc.) typically used<br />

�Extrapolated onset is used as melting temperature<br />

�Sample is fully melted at the peak<br />

� Miscellaneous<br />

�With metal standards, calibration should change very<br />

� little with heating rate<br />

�With metal standards, it is not practical to calibrate for<br />

�changes in heating rate on polymer samples<br />
